Cook Em Up Style

Tune: Cook It?


I found this 7" record of a Jamaican version of Hit em Up Style in the back of some section at Amoeba Berkeley where it had no business hiding... like the gospel or New Orleans section. The record caught my eye because of the title "cook it". I don't remember who the artist is, sadly I sold this record at a Fabric8 record swap. If this jam was a hit we could call them a one hit wonder, but I doubt it topped any charts, so we will just call them a wonder... until I can ID the artist.

The lyrics are all about some gal who has trouble cooking a chicken dinner and burning rice!

The Carolina Chocolate Drops keep the same lyrics and feel of the OG tune on this version adding their signature old timey mountain jug band/ string band flair.
